#2 American Jiu Jitsu is Different than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
This is a unique time in life to live and own the greatest business in the world. This is the time to actually live and do what you love, practice martial arts, teach American Jiu-Jitsu, and share the mats with people who mean the most. The difference is none, and we all know this yet, our focus in representing American Jiu Jitsu Federation will to appreciate this is ART, not Sport, this is Legacy, not Tradition. The entire focus as a foundation of the American Jiu Jitsu Federation is giving back to school owners, Black belts, and seeing the athletes thrive in a world of distraction. We lose sight of the values taught on the mats, as the times move forward, smaller and younger children are introduced to the world of American Jiu Jitsu in America. We want to be the first to normalize “Submission ” focused training. We want to always show respect to wrestling and Judo which equally focus on the take down as the end-all all and to which American Jiu Jitsu is just beginning.
What details we all agree on will be our first united commitment to this established organization of martial arts for all martial arts. The “How can we help mindset is derived from the truth and purpose of what we believe. “Be the change you want.” Unity, better organization, community support, and best of all, the financial support from the federation you support.

#3 AJJF wants your brand of teaching to grow.
As a school owner you know better than anyone, the love is the passion and the pain is the reality of business. I took this opportunity to congratulate all of you on the 100 hats worn by all of you to operate, profit and stay in business. I know for a fact not 1 of you believes what we do is easy. Not 1 of you wake up sad to go train,we are fortunate to truly live our dreams and have other people to share it with. American Jiu Jitsu is the art in it’s greatest form as we establish training, education and the ability to network for all the bigger exposure to how the art of Jiu Jitsu will change the world. People lose sight of how far we have walked, run, even sprinted, and we were not better, we just loved what is life, what is American Jiu Jitsu. I live by the honest facts of what we see and take for granted. Americans teaching Americans in America, this is as American as can be. It means no harm to our Brazilian Elders for the wealth of knowledge to share and support the next chapter of global domination, school education, law enforcement training and personal satisfaction of achieving the best of the best from the best American Jiu Jitsu Federation.
#4 Business Owner American Jiu Jitsu Federation Health Insurance.
